Q&A
- The manufacturer shows this sku fits a 2017 F350, but this shows it doesn't. Am I looking at the correct product?
- Yes that would fit the 2017 F250 Powerstoke. We just need to update the year range. Its a constant battle. -Sands
- Will this fit if you have dual steering stabilizers installed? Wondering if it will fit considering this cover is thicker then the stock cover and the stabilizers don't leave much room. Would like to add for ease of changing fluids.
- We don't typically have good luck with aftermarket steering components and the aftermarket covers. What dual kit are you running? -Sands
- does this AFE Power rear differential cover fit a 2005, 6.6 HD LLY Silverado, 4 door Crew cab .stock it has 14 bolts rear end stock Differential cover ? because I got one and the boxes saying it fits a Dodge diesel .and it has 13 holes on the cover.? it looks like this one? Thank You …
- Yes, both the Dodges and Chevy's used the same rear axle in that year. That cover would work just fine for you. DppSands

- Will this fit my differential on a 2000 Dodge Ram 3500 automatic four-wheel drive
- If it is a dually yes. If it is an single rear wheel, it should be equipped with a Dana 70. I would verify what rear end you have first. DppSands
